The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has introduced its first official guideline regarding generative AI, stating that these tools neither facilitate nor hinder Oscar nominations. Instead, the focus will be on the human element in creative authorship. In other significant changes, voters are now required to watch all films up for consideration, ensuring thorough evaluation. Additionally, for the International Feature Film category, films creatively controlled by refugees are eligible for nominations, broadening inclusivity. A new Casting category will also be established, featuring a shortlist format for nominees.
The Academy's new rule states that generative AI tools do not impact a film's nomination chances, emphasizing human creativity in the awards process.
Voters must now watch all eligible films for the final Oscar voting, which is a significant change aimed at ensuring informed decision-making.
Films from countries can be nominated even if creatively controlled by individuals with refugee status, enhancing inclusivity in the International Feature Film category.
The new Casting category will consist of nominees selected from a ten-film shortlist, following the format of the Makeup and Hairstyling or Sound categories.
